Chen Ziyu's actions made Emperor Hongzhi blush!
A son-in-law is half a son-in-law. If his son-in-law can be appreciated by the cabinet bachelor, he will also have face!
However, Emperor Hongzhi felt a headache when he thought of Prince Zhu Houzhao.
Now I can only place my hope on Chen Ziyu, hoping that he can teach the prince well!
At this moment, Liu Jian stood up, raised his hands with a serious expression and said: "Your Majesty, now that the siege of rural areas has ended, and next year's spring is about to begin, students from all over the country are probably already on their way to Beijing. I wonder what your Majesty has to say. instruct?"
Chunwei generally refers to the general examination, and students from high schools in rural areas from all over the country need to come to the capital to participate.
Under normal circumstances, it is held once every three years. The exam is held in mid-to-early February of that year. There are three consecutive exams. Those who pass the exam are called Gongshi, and the first one is called Huiyuan.
After the joint examination, the Gongshi were re-examined by the emperor in person, and the best were selected as Jinshi. The top three among them were the well-known No. 1 Scholar, No. 2 Scholar, and No. 3 Scholar!
However, the imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty were divided into the South Ranking and the Northern Ranking. This was mainly because southerners were exam masters, so in order to take care of the northern students, the Southern Ranking and the Northern Ranking were specially set!
To put it bluntly, candidates in the same year will be divided into north and south according to their household registration area, and they will use different papers when taking the examination!
Among those who passed the Jinshi examination, 60% were from the south and 40% were from the north!
After that, they will all participate in the palace examination to determine the top three!
Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly and said seriously: "The Spring Festival is a national talent promotion ceremony. It is extraordinary. Thank you for your hard work!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do my best!"
Liu Jian bowed his hands and replied.
"However, the examiner for Chunwei this time still needs to be drafted by His Majesty!"
Emperor Hongzhi asked: "What are the opinions of the Liu Qing family?"
After Liu Jian thought for a while, he replied: "I think Wang Ao, the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel, is a good candidate. In addition, Wang Hua, the right minister of Zhan Shifu's Youchunfang, is also suitable!"
Emperor Hongzhi squinted his eyes, and Wang Aochenghua ranked third in the eleventh grade, that is, Tanhualang. He is quite upright and has served as his teacher. Both his qualifications and status are enough to serve as the examiner.
As for Wang Hua, he was the number one scholar in the eleventh year of Chenghua. Now he was invited by Emperor Hongzhi to Zhan Shifu to give lectures to the prince Zhu Houzhao.
But at this moment, Emperor Hongzhi's eyes suddenly glanced at Chen Ziyu, and then he had an idea in his mind.
"Ziyu, what do you suggest?"
"this......"
Chen Ziyu was immediately confused. Could he say such a thing?
Isn't it too childish!
Moreover, if he came casually, he might leave a frivolous impression on Emperor Hongzhi and the three cabinet members.
In that case, the hard work of building an honest character will turn into a scheming, and the gain will not be worth the loss!
So Qi Qi Ai Ai looked embarrassed and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is not something I can say!"
Emperor Hongzhi smiled slightly, "It's okay, I just want to hear your thoughts!"
"I really can't talk about this!"
"I asked you to say this. Do you want to resist?"
Emperor Hongzhi changed the topic and said, "If you can't be soft, you can be tough!"
At this point, Chen Ziyu could only think carefully. He still remembered that the examiner of the imperial examination in the twelfth year of Hongzhi was Li Dongyang.
If I remember correctly, I will try the first classic question, which seems to be "There is something beautiful about this"!
Moreover, there will be two awesome people in this imperial examination, one is Wang Shouren and Wang Yangming, and the other is Tang Yin and Tang Bohu.
It's just that although the two took the imperial examination in the same year, their fates were completely opposite.
One is hailed as a saint by future generations, and the other is greatly regretted by future generations!
"Your Majesty, how about Mr. Li?"
Chen Ziyu pointed at Li Dongyang carefully while staring at Emperor Hongzhi's expression carefully.
In fact, Chen Ziyu didn't know that Emperor Hongzhi had long wanted Li Dongyang to be the examiner for this spring.
Mainly because Li Dongyang's interpretation of Chen Ziyu's words just now made Emperor Hongzhi find everything new and fresh!
It also perfectly resolved an embarrassment, which was quite satisfactory to Emperor Hongzhi.
After Chen Ziyu finished speaking, Emperor Hongzhi pretended to think for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Then this spring will cause trouble for Li Qing's family!"
Li Dongyang felt a little flattered at this time!
Serving as an examiner will greatly improve your resume. After all, officialdom is all about relationships. Once you become an examiner for an exam like Chunwei, the students who win the imperial examination will be your students in the future!
"What do you think of Li Qing's family?"
"I must do my best!"
Li Dongyang bowed excitedly.
Then he cast a grateful look at Chen Ziyu while others were not paying attention!
I thought to myself, this Uncle Pingjiang is so kind, he knows how to reciprocate favors!
However, this gift is indeed not light, so I can only go back and find an opportunity to express my gratitude in person!
Liu Jian on the side saw that Emperor Hongzhi had already spoken, so he said: "Your Majesty, since I am the chief examiner, how many other examiners are there?"
"Let the Liu Qing family draw up a list of these first!"
"Yes, Your Majesty! Na Chen and the other three will leave first!"
Emperor Hongzhi nodded and winked at Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing immediately understood and respectfully sent the three cabinet bosses away.
........
After seeing Liu Jian and the other three leaving, Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Chen Ziyu, pointed to Jin Dun beside him with a smile, and said:
"Ziyu, sit down!"
Chen Ziyu rubbed his stiffened calves, smiled and quickly thanked him, "I thank you, Your Majesty!"
After saying that, he sat down on the Jindun without any violation!
This is really because Emperor Hongzhi has a good temper. Otherwise, any emperor would definitely feel unhappy when he saw Chen Ziyu like this!
Emperor Hongzhi shook his head and smiled, thinking that although his son-in-law was a bit ridiculous before, now he feels that it is not bad, at least much better than his nephew Kang Nian!
It’s just that he is too honest and upright, and he easily offends and gets bullied!
If Li Dongyang hadn't been here just now, he would have been kicked out of Nuan Pavilion!
"Ziyu, how are you getting along with the prince today?"
Emperor Hongzhi asked. He had kept it secret from Zhu Houzhao because he was afraid that Zhu Houzhao would rebel.
Chen Ziyu cupped his hands and said carelessly: "Your Majesty, I get along very well with His Highness the Crown Prince, and His Highness the Crown Prince also recognizes me as my brother-in-law!"
